Design and Build
The LG Esteem flaunted a utilitarian design, measuring 128 x 67 x 13 mm and weighing 172 grams. Despite being slightly bulky by today's standards, it was relatively compact back in 2011. Its build communicated durability, aided by the inclusion of Corning Gorilla Glass, which provided some degree of scratch protection to the display. The phone accommodated a Mini-SIM, reflecting the common practice of the period, and its all-black aesthetic was understated yet functional.
